I can't mention right now what can be improved because I haven't explored the solution in-depth, so I just use it for the standard one. The UI is a good one till now, but it can be improved. Every time in the software world, there are a lot of improvements needed every time you come up with some new solution, especially in the UI part. So it's the customers who like it. IBM has limited cloud storage. The portability of the storage is needed, like how AWS supports Snow and other portable storage. So that needs to be included. Also, the one thing I mentioned here is that the good one is IBM Aspera for transferring mostly the infrastructure or the data, which was a very fast process. Snow is something from AWS that I would like to be added to IBM.

The performance could be better. It isn't bad, but everything is network-based, so you have a performance penalty on the network. You can never achieve the same performance as hardware. That's the disadvantage of cloud storage solutions in general. Cloud performance is one of the main issues clients have. I wouldn't use it for business-critical data that customers need to access regularly. It's suitable for storing code data. For example, say you're required to retain data for 10 or 20 years, and nobody's using it, but you need to keep it for legal purposes. Cloud Object Storage is suitable for holding that kind of data. I would like IBM to improve performance. I know that there are other tools that can help you, but you need to buy another license. For example, Aspera can help you with network latency.

The performance could improve in IBM Cloud Object Storage. The throughput or objects per second can have degradation.

Perhaps in price and they don't have a large number of additional services.
